Point’ select Vertical and then click on the intersecting segment. Line will be drawn ending at that point at 90/270°. SHORTCUT KEY: V PERP. (Perpendicular)- Draw a line perpendicular to a segment (arc or line). Perp. can be used as both ‘First Point’ and/or ‘Second Point’ when drawing a line. An element must be chosen to apply this Snap Point, when chosen the position of the snap point will be determined by the last point drawn (current point). HOW TO USE- For example, draw two parallel horizontal lines. The upper line should be longer than the lower. Draw a vertical line (either Line 2 Points or Line to Point) at then end point of the lower line where it is shorter than the upper. Choose Perp. and click the upper element. SHORTCUT KEY: P ANGLE- Draw a line at a given angle from the current point to a selected element. HOW TO USE- Draw a line (either Line 2 Points or Line to Point) after choosing the ‘First Point’ select Angle and enter the angle at which the line will be at, click OK. Move the cursor to an arc or line that will be intersected by the current line and click on that element. SHORTCUT KEY: G X(P1)Y(P2)- The X value from the first mouse click (P1) is used along with the Y value from the second mouse click (P2) to determine the snap point. P1 and P2 are only used in conjunction with End Point Snap Mode. No other Snap Modes work while this Snap Mode is active. HOW TO USE- Draw a line (either Line 2 Points or Line to Point) and for the ‘First Point’ select X(P1)Y(P2) Snap Mode find two different end points to click on (either arc or line segment). Once clicked the snap point will set the ‘First Point’. SHORTCUT KEY: Y CIRCLE AXIS- Finds a quadrant point of an arc or circle nearest to the cursor click. Similar to Middle and End Point Snap Modes whereas the click made on the arc or circle will automatically find the nearest quadrant. Arcs and circles have up to four quadrants (0, 90, 180 and 22
270°) throughout the circular shape. Depending on where the click is made the closest quadrant point will be chosen as the snap point. HOW TO USE- Draw a circle within a part. Then draw a line selecting Circle Axis as the ‘First Point’. Click anywhere on the diameter of the circles geometry. Starting point of line will be at the nearest quadrant. SHORTCUT KEY: X POLAR- Snap point applied by using a distance value (R) and an angle value (Theta). This Snap Mode is also applied relative to the last drawn point (current point). HOW TO USE- Draw a circle at any point within a part (r=25mm [1”). Then, draw a line selecting Polar for ‘First Point’, enter R=12.5mm (0.5”) and Theta=0 and click OK. Then finish line with any Snap Mode. SHORTCUT KEY: O NEAREST- Used to connect an arc or line to the closest point of where the cursor is clicked on a given segment (arc or line). HOW TO USE- Within a part, draw a line starting at any point and then intersect through an arc or line by using Nearest. When Nearest is selected click on the designated segments chosen intersection point and the line will be placed at the closest point near the click. SHORTCUT KEY: S FRACTION- Derives a point as being a certain fraction between two points. Evaluator asks for a value that will work as the fraction. Two click points are asked for to determine where the point will be in direct relation to the fraction value. NOTE- No additional Snap Modes can be used when Fraction is chosen, only geometry end points can be chosen. The value entered explained below: • < 1- any fraction value less than 1 will apply the snap point between the two click points chosen. (ex. 0.5 fraction value will place the snap point directly in the middle of the two clicks.) • ≥ 1- any fraction value greater or equal to 1 will be placed outside the click points based upon the distance between clicks. (ex. A value of 2 will place the snap point twice the distance away from the first click point.) 23
